Impeaching Donald John Trump, President of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors.
Latest action (24 Aug 2026): Introduced
What this bill does
This resolution, introduced by Rep. Al Green (D-TX), would impeach President Donald Trump for "high crimes and misdemeanors," accusing him of violating his constitutional oath of office. The single article of impeachment alleges that Trump directed or condoned the operation of ICE and CBP as an unaccountable force that committed unjustified killings of civilians, engaged in cover-ups of those deaths, operated with anonymity through masks and lack of identification, suppressed First Amendment activity, and defied federal court orders. The resolution cites specific incidents, including the deaths of Renee Good, Alex Pretti, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, and Johan Sebastian Duran Guerrero, as well as instances of noncompliance with judicial rulings in immigration cases.
If adopted, the resolution would directly affect President Trump, as it seeks to have the House of Representatives formally impeach him a second time, separate from the 2021 impeachment (H. Res. 24). It would also implicate federal agencies ICE and CBP and administration officials referenced in the allegations, as their conduct forms the basis for the article of impeachment.
The resolution was introduced on August 24, 2026, and referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary. For impeachment to proceed, the Judiciary Committee would need to consider the resolution, and the full House would need to vote to approve articles of impeachment. If approved by a majority vote, the matter would then go to the Senate for a trial. At this stage, the bill has only been introduced and referred to committee; no further action has occurred.
